Review of the First Edition: "The book treats the subject in a systematic manner
giving the mathematical rigour necessary to describe the physical
phenomena. The book is a useful work." -- Mathematics
Abstracts
This book employs a relatively new method for solving
electromagnetic problems, one which makes use of a transmission line
matrix (TLM). The propagation space is imagined to be filled with this
matrix. The propagating fields and physical properties are then mapped
onto the matrix. Mathematically, the procedures are identical with the
traditional numerical methods; however, the interpretation and physical
appeal of the transmission line matrix are far superior. Any change in
the matrix has an immediate physical significance. What is also very
important is that the matrix becomes a launching pad for many
improvements in the analysis, using more modern notions of
electromagnetic waves. Eventually, the purely mathematical techniques
will probably give way to the transmission line matrix method.
Major revisions occur in chapters IV and VII in this second
edition. The revised chapters now present an up-to-date and concise
treatment on plane wave correlations and decorrelations, and provide a
revised formulation of simulation to solve transient electromagnetic
problems. It also takes into account semiconductors with arbitrary
dielectric constant, using much smaller cell size, and extending the
range of applicability and improving accuracy.
